Arcane battlesmith
Battlesmiths are, in their essence, artificers without magic. They use their tools to create powerful, modified items and adopt a specific exotic style of fighting that can only be made by specific modified weapons which, by custom, battlesmiths forge themselves. When creating a battlesmith, think about where they learned their skills in both fighting and smithery. Think about their goals in doing both and how they balance their two lives.
